Ok... so if it is digital I am thinking this... Has anyone tried a
direct driver board with no d->a cable a->d ?  If it would act
reasonably in any way it would be easy to make such a ISA or PCI board.
Especially if it happened to react just as a ram chip might... :)

Or if I could state lock a ram chip to it... yadda yadda...

Anyone tried that?  :)
